" IRON BOILER FLOATS ON WAVES * One of the Life Guards at the Hotel Cape May reports a very mysterious oc- ' currence, which would be interesting for some of our local physicists to investi- ' gate. The guard noticed a peculiar looking object floating on the water, and upon investigtaion found it to be a large iron ^ boiler. To see iron floating on the water is enough to give one an uncanny feeling, and in the days of the Salem e Witchcraft it would have been unsafe * for anyone to report such a thing. However the man who reported this incident 1 believes that the air in the boiler buoyed f VICIOUS BULLDOG ATTACKS CHILD 4 The young child of Romeo Macrioeehi, an Italian merchant on Elmira street, was attacked by a vicious bulldog owne ed by another Italian on the same street, I and seriously and perhaps permanently * injured.
